The proposed feet logo is likely a violation of the GNOME
Foundation trademark, more info on their site [3].<br>

<div>If the feet logo could be a violation of the GNOME trademark,
then lets revert it, until a proper replacement is found (and if
its really needed, of course).<br>

How would it be a violation? It is not a derived work. It doesn't
even look similar. Plus Sugar users have two feet, as most humans
do.<br>
GNOME foot icon looks like a "G". The Sugar feet logo is my
creation* and each foot has five toes instead of four.<br>
<br>
I have seen that you and Ignacio have reverted my change.<br>

Agreement, which, is a contract that I signed when I was a SLOBs
in 2011?</i><br>
<br>
This contract binds Sugar Labs, and, specifically, me, to make sure
Sugar Labs distributes only Free Software. If the XO logo icon can
be used "under certain circumstances" then it's not free as in Libre
and we - I - would be in breach of this contract. Therefore it is my
right to request Sugar Labs to make sure the above questions are
answered affirmatively before I can accept to distribute Sugar with
this icon or subject our distributors or users to risk of being
bullied by a copyright owner.<br>
<br>
While I agree the way I did it was counter to Sugar Labs standard
development procedures, we know it could take years for a patch to
be merged since nobody has the motivation for doing it. I
anticipated it would be unpopular but I'm sorry, I feel it's
necessary. I have brought this topic up for years and after this
time I feel I have earned the right to act the way I feel is in the
best interest of Sugar.<br>
<br>
I will therefore make the corresponding pull request to set the
record straight again.<br>
<br>
If this will have the positive impact of jolting some energy into
this community, then I'm all the more happy for it.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
